Tho For i' i n News, The intelligence from Europe, contained in our telegraphic despatch lo day, will be found interesting, th'Miuli il bo such as we were, justified in anticipating. Il will be tern that the French government disowns Hie acta and conduct of its lale Mmiti-, Mona Poussin, and haw adopted a course the most honorable and satisfactory towards our own. Thus is dispelled oil annrehensioiis of a difficulty between tw powerful notions., on account of the unwarrantable conduct of a licentious Minister.

Unnecessary Alarm. A few days since, we took occasion to warn tin; )nple of Ohio of the peril of abandoning the town and trusting themselves to the caprices of a partisan mob. Tlit Editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, (none other than our ancient friend Fakan,) affects tolind in our remarks evidence of two things, via : 1. Tint wo hive changed our mind on this subject; and i. That our remarks are about the boldest recom- mendilion for a Wing mob to convene at Columbus, on the tint Monday of December noil, for the purpose of preventing an organization of the Legislature, lint has Vt appeared in any of the Whig papers." How much of faei Uht- is in Hie first item above specified, and how much of justitn in the other, our readers are amply quilifi"d to j idgo unu we appeal from th'J charge ul our Cincinnati contemporary to the j if nit; nt of tlm reader. 1tmL as to the alk'dnd "cA'intffl." Il is notorious that had the o mnsel of the Hmto Journal prevailed tail December, the efforts of Townshend and Morse. would have ben pruverlrm to bring about those seeuea of corruption which disgraced the actors, and brought reproach upon the fair fame of the Slate. We then urged upon our friends, aa we now do, a constant and abiding adherence l the. 'iu, and the prompt discarding of all offers of compromise, whereby tin supremacy ol the law would lie compromited or jeoparded. We have never seen the error, if error there was, in that counsel. We have never ceased to deprecate the hour whi'n our friends were induced to adopt a different course. 77y wera deceived and our apprehensions were realized. Srcon'U'j, our friend may dismiss all alarm, on account of any apprehended " Whig mob." We hive neither counseled or contemplated anything of I lie kind. And while upon the topic, our friend will allow us onn suggestion, slid that is, Unit there will be no necessity for bringing upagmn the army of loenfoeo bailie who quartered in our city last December. The poor success they then met, is demonstrative of the fact thai such attempts to overawe vitl not pay. I Hie Free Soil parly neled.

The deep and general regard paid to the I'residents'a cull to the na tion to bo itsell ill humiliation and prayer, mimes it certain that now, when barn and granary are full, and the drendlul scourge of disease has gone, it would be most grateful to their feelings to offer up, ns one mass, a solemn thanksgiving for the goodness of Prov idence.

There is an editor of our acquaintance, laboring in that fruitful vineyard, The WtiUrn Htstrtt," who is very rsbid at the present ti ne, and venis any quantity of spleen at Gov. Fottu, for no better reason than that the Governor did not give him occasion to uiani-lest this spleiM'tio madness some months ago. He burns with indignation and inijiatienre for an opportunity to wreak vengeance upon the Governor, for not having disclosed to him, the said editor, that while occupying Ihe position of Whig candidate fr Governor, he would not oppose the Wing nominee fr Presi dent! Had the editor mistrusted any thing of tins sort, he would have nude the Governor feel ihe full weight of Ins virtuous wrath which ho calculates is considerable in New Connecticut- And as it is, he has bottled up soy quantity of fury, to be poured upon the head of Ihe Governor, in Ihu dv of the editor's wralh.

Shivery Tho Power of Congress. It is alreudy quite apparent that the coalilion effec ted in tins city in December last, between the leaders of the Incvfoco and the free tud parties, was only a temporary arrangement! and had reference mainly lo Ihe distribution of those " loaves and fishes" which Doctor Townshend found such a harrier to an organi sation of the Legislature. It is true that an eltort was made iu some quarters, and with partial success, to carry ou the business of tho old firm at the recent lections under the name and style of "tree Demo cracy ;" bul a more intiuute acquaintance with earn other begat mutual distrust and it is now sufficiently evident that the parties lo that coalition, hold ng no thing in common but an insatiable desire lor the cpnilg of office, cannot long continue iu harmonious co-1 operation. " Samson a young foxes 111iLp.1t as well " lu bands of iwertest wedlock dwell, . With firebrands tied between !" The union, though it has brought benefit to Chase, Hamlin, Medary and Spalding, saddled a havy bur- den up in the locofoco party, absolutely too heavy to carry in the State, without such aid from their new alhes us has worked Ihe utter biinliruptry ol the latter. And now, since. theso results have been developed by the late elections, vigorous efforts are being made by ihe old tine. " deino'crucy" to recover their lost ground. In these efforts they miss the wonted aaid on winch they were accialoiiied lo rely, of the Ohio tilntesmatl Cireumitancet" render it expedient, on Ihe part ol that sheet, to fnr.n out these labors lo its subordinates. The ides of December require the exercise, just now, of iiinr than ordinary pru-.lt; nee and nircuuispectiou on the part of that sheet of immaculate purity, unmixed patriotism, and lofty bearing- The Free Soil members lect of the Legislature must he coneiliaUd, or the public printing is in jeopardy; and hence Ihe Stales-man finds leisure just now lo discuss any other subject, rather than those which constitute the dividing line between "The Nicholson Letter and "Ihe Jluffilo Platform." We beg the public lo suspend its drafts upon Ihe Statesman hr its views on the subject of tin powers ol Congress In restrain Slavery in the Territories, until the question ol public printing shall have been disposed of by the coming Legislature. And if, pending this question of printing, the States man roar you like any sucxing dove upon tne comparatively trivial subject of extending Slsvery over a few parallels of latitude, it will make ample amends by enacting A'irc Ihttom for Ihe South, so soon as it shall be made secure of the aforesaid job, which now so qiuch embarrasses its power of utterance. Bul while Ihe Statesman is thus mule, other Loco toco editor and teachers are laboring m their vocation lo restore their party to the position it occupied al tin-last Presidential election. A writer in the Dayton Empire, of Monday, has the following specious rea soning, calculated to persuade the people lo yield their assent to the absurd proposition that slavery, under the constitution, has acquired a strength greater than Ihe constitution itself; and cannot be restrained by those by whom and for whose bene lit (lie constitution was framed. He says ; " If then the view is correct, lliat taeh State lias an undivided interest in the wilol.K, any exercise of pow. r bv Congress by whu-h the proprietary rights or equality of any single Slate are infringed, it uncontti-tulionut. The proprietary rights sod equality of fifteen of the thirty Stales of this Union auk mmmiKti by the V;lmot Proviso, because under it they cannot exercise those rights without submitting to a depnva- lion ruinout to their inter trtt and to an annihilation of their rii'lit to property winch is ganrtiourd by their laws and fiuaranlrtd them by the Conttitutiuu." If tins be not notice on Ihe part of tho Medary inte rest, of an intention to withdraw from the firm ol Toicnthnul, Chute fy CV., then we confess wo are unable lo put a reasonable interpretation upon the language. We know of no proprietary rights" by which any ciliien of a slave State is authorized to transfer his slave property beyond the limits ot his State, Slavery, where it is tolerated, is emphatically a Statt institution and exists only by the sufferance of State laws. If, therefore, a slaveholder transfer his slave lu a Iree Slate, llie sUvft thereby becomes riir.K ; and I he re is no legal power, either in the federal Constitution or the Constitution of any State, to reduce ttie slave bo made free, again to bondage. The Territories belonging to Ihe Republic are free. There is no pow- T vested in C ingress to change this condition. And there were so oriu:n ueasb in the reach of the Fed real Uttprrnmmt tu proltct Oust lerritortel from the foul blight uf glanry, then tee my , lf.t tiikv bk nt-tkockokI) lo theatre UrpuUl'ttan people of Mexico, from irlunn they were icrettrdtand who had ubotithtd the abomination within thtir limits. The Territories are not the property of the Utattt, but belong In Ihe V tuple oj the Xation, in their aggregate charucU-r and c ipiciiy, and are held by the fed eral goverumeni in trait for them. No Slate has right ful jurisdiction in the Territories, to introduce or maintain therein any "peculiarity" of its own, against common consent. As regards the institution of slavery in the Territories, and the right of Congress l legislate for its limitation and restriction, there can hard ly exist a serious question. Such right has been re P'jatedly exercised, at various periods o our national history, has been as often acquiesced in by too statei and the people and ran hardly now be brought in question. Ttie ,Vicftiim Letter was a most signal failure of such an attempt. Such efforts are behind the age, and far in the reir of the genius of the times . The Convention It is now conceded that the vote uf the people is in favor of the call ol a Convention to makranew Constitution fur Ohio. There was so little excitement on the question, that bul for Ihe distribution of tickets on which were printed "for a Convention," the decision probably would have been Ihe Converxe of what it is. As there was no excitement, so neither of the great political organizations were array d in favor of or airaiilNt the call, and the result is m lependent o( any political party. This is as il should be. The Legislature must now provide lor a Convention. We have purposely abstained, heretofore, Irom discussion on the propriety of the call, or un Ihe changes proper to be made in the Constitution ; and our object now, is to make known a few changes which we think expedient, and are disposed to m'vocute. A Governor, lo bo ihe Chief htecutize Officer of the Stale, without any Legittal.ne power no veto. A Lieutenant Governor, elected by the people, to prende in the Semite, with a vote when there is an equal division. The duties of G ivenior to devolve upon him ; an officer elecled by llie people ol liirije in case of vacancy, instead ot a Senator, only receiving llie votes oi a nenaioriai uisirici. An drctirc Judiciary to serve for a term of years, to consist of Justices, Judges of Probnle, County or District Judges no Associate JudgcrfT-and a Supreme Court 'Ihe latter to have only appcllnie jurisdiction, and lo hold a Court iu Bank, once a year in suitable districts. Senators and Representatives to be elecled from tinte districts. The Senate to consist of, say mem-beis, to he elected fk two years, half to be elected every year. The House of Representatives to be elected yearly, and to consist of, hay 100 members. The S'ate officers to be elected by general ticket, for a term to be fixed by law.

The correspondent of the Haiti- more American makes the following very judicious remarks: " Their declaration cannot be construed otherwise thnn as an avowal in advance of an intention to oppose General Taylor in all hiiacts and measures; and that whether in the future the President shall declare himself in juror or agnintt a modification of the pre- nl tanll, the Union is by Dial avowal pledged in m- runes to oppose linn and take the other side ; no matter whether he sanction or repudiate the Wiluiot pro. viso, the Union is alike pledged in adronce to opposo him to the hitler end ; no mailer whether he yield tamely to Great Britain in her shallow pretensions as the Protector of the Mosquito King, and truckle to Lord Paliucrstoii,' or 'uphold the American principle proclaimed by President Monroe, and reiterated by aekson and Polk, as lo tne non-allowance ot snv I nr. iher European colonization on this continent,' although the Union of yesterday declared that in the latter event he would be backed b tho whole Aineri-can people, yet its editors are in either case bound by a pledge, made in advance to oppose him Mo the u liter end.' ,7 Senator thn: Klcctloneeriug.

There is a very natural desire abroad among the people, lo know somewhat of the eatte of their next Legislature. We gave, about a week since, a complete list, classed according to tho political predilections of the several members, by which ony reader may arrive at a knowledge of the political character of the representative bodies, with all the accuracy that the facts it) our possession enables us to impart In such a statement. Hut still, the public mind isiiotsatisfied. Wo meet with frequent speculations on tho subject, even in Whig papers, such as, iT Mr. Hundalt thai! rote so and so : If the.

To u lliey seem iinnrolitahlc and void of interest. As to Mr. Rm- tail's vote on the admission of Mr. Uroadwell, we do nol perceive how there can be any doubt. Mr. ttroad well is elecled by near one thousand majority, undei the provisions of a law which has received Mr. Randall's sanction on three several occasions, given under ihe solemnities of his oath. We can not see why it hould he supposed for a moment that he is now going retrrse his deliberately formed and solemnly ex pressed opinions. Wo enterlnin no such supposition- As to the Free Soil members, Ihey will undoubtedly vole upon questions relating to the organization of the two Houses, according lo the dictates of Iheir judg ments, lifeline there wis one very weak, and anu ther very dishonest man iu the last House of Repre- ntotives, cloaked under tho guise of the Free Soil pally, it -'J no uieai ) tollovvs that mi wno navo casi their votes, or been elected hy voles cist in accoid- 1 auce with tlie views of thai parly, are to he set down as either idiots or knaves. In an entire region of the Slate embracing some twelve counties, a sentiment as taken strong hold upon the minds of the entire mass of the population. Tliey have to a great extent iibmccd that sentiment, even to Ihu exclusion ol Dtheri of vital importance, We have no quarrel Willi thein on account of such sentiment; but on tho contrary, loa reasonable extent hold it in common with them The differeuue between us consists in the intolerance of spirit manifested by some who have seized upon this peculiar state of pub lic feeling in that region mounted it as a hobby and thus attempted to constitute themselves leaders. This au evil which will cure itself It may be produc tive of soiiu! temporary wrong, bul among an honest nd intelligent peoplecan gam no permanent lodgment. Die free soil members elect are from a constituency who plume themselves somewhat upon their school- mses and churches. Tne representatives ul such a people will not be very likely lo disregard tho obliga tions of the laws. They may entertain doubts of the propriety or expediency of any given legal enactment. Tliuy may be ready to vole for its modification or ah. rogation; but while it stands unrepealed upon ine statute-book, they would very unfaithfully reflect the sentiments of a law-abiding people, by substituting for the law the imperious will of an irresponsible taction. And if these men choose to exercise iheir talent in an attempt to " make a spoon or tpoit a horn" who shall forbid thoin the effort? They h ivu the same interest in the slake that any other equal number of citizens possess, and will be held lo as rigid a responsibility. It is one of the incidents of our republican system, that all concerned in the grand issue, shtll hive a voice in the general management ; and however much we miy deprecate the course of sum! of Ihe self.con- stunted teidcrt of llio Tree s oil party, we would not restrain their action, al Ihe expiiueof this feature ot our government. With regard to the inemb-rs from the first District of Hamilton county being admitted lo iheir seats, we e no more reasm for bringing their right in ques tion, th in that ol I In? meiuiiers irom any outer ais trict. The same law th it prescribes th tt district, proscribes them all. AshtabuU and Like cmulie make one district, to clnnse two Representatives; so of Clark, Campaign, and M ubsou ; so also ol Knox and Huluifs; of Richland and Crawford ; of Ross and Pick away, and others. And llie same nuthority exists un der the constitution tor dividing- a county into two representative districts, where there is the requisite amount ol populati m, thai exist for Ihe combination f two or more counties into one district, when a den- ctency of population dictates thai course. II iw comes th-n, tli it we d.i not h'ar the right of the members led from Perry and Hocking from JOiox and II ilmcs from Richland and Crawford, ti laite their seals, called in question, as well aa those from the first district of H million ? Simply because il happens to suit the purposes of (he loc docos to raise the question the one instance, and the Whigs do not choose tu raise it in the other and that it all the reason. The vote of Mr. Riddle and his colleague from the Geauga district, and Mr. Krum and his colteiiues from the Ashtabula district, are confidently counted upon by the locofocos, becailso in th iso districts Ihe Whigs had other candidates of their own. With whit reason this calculation is entertained, especially as regards Mr. Riddle, may he inferred from the fol lowing extract from a speech delivered by him in the House of Representative! last winter : " 1 here charge (hat certain gentlemen of the Free Soil party, early conceived the bold and ambitious design of taking advantage of the unfortunate position ol psrties, lo hold ihe balance of power in their own hands, and tlius diclaln llie legislation ot llie. stale, and tho distribution ol its patronage, with tiir l'i.ti M AT R IIKSlOf or UNITING TIIK r llttt S'UL F A HTY WITH Locomtoi!.

CARLOS COOLIDGE. From the Defiance Banner, r'reo Soil lu Ohio. The scenes at Columbus last winter the repeal of the IJIark Laws the election of S. P. Chase to the Uniled Stales SenaU and the means by which these ends were accomplished are events which have just, ly excited a great interest ; occasioning much discussion by the press, and in the social and political circles among tlie people of Ohio. Y et the theme is so fruitful as not to be exhausted ; and the interest so great as not to Hag. Pariiznn strife in Ohio, throughout the wholo periud of its history, with all its attendant ea. geruess for power, had never occasioned such an out raje to the elementary principles of republican institutions as was perpetrated, through mercenary influences alone, by the actors in these events. Men invested by tho suffrages of the people with the sacred trust of legislative power, with the obligation of asolemn oath superadded, descended from their 1 lty poatiion and utadt- niecha"ii;se-of their power its use was the subject of bargain and sale accompanied by written cuotractt, tignid and de.lic.ered, with all the cool, calculating deliberation of an ordinary commercial transaction. Men not authorized by the constitution and la ws of the Stale lo occupy seats in the General Assembly, were by corrupt bargain provided Willi seats, and invested with llie power of legislation. The abolition of a body of laws of Ion? standing, sustained by the people against rcieatcd efforts for repeal, is contracted '"f, and the contract fulfilled. The most digmlicd office in the gift of tlie Slate sold for a price. and bestowed upon one not the choice ol one hltieth of the whole people. In fine, usurpation of legislative power stipulated for by written contract; ihe rep resentative tli-'ory and principle ot me government set at nought ; laws made and repealed against the known and often expressed will ol the people, and the ollices and dignities, rightfully Iheir gill, tendered and be-slowed as the contract price and reward of corruption and u-mrpatmn. A people less lornearing man ours, wouia nave vis ited the offenders with summary execution as traitors to the country, and usurpera nt its liberties. Individually we have no otijeclion lo me repeal nt the "black laws," though we were never conscious that those laws were injurious lo llio people of Ohio, and, consequently, never felt that their rt-peal was of great importance. Indeed, we have always under stood the mentis ot repeal to puce meir ciaun upon llie high ground of abstract principle rather than considerations of utility. Tim portion of the people of Ohio more immediately affected by Iheir existence or repeal, havo always been averse lo repeal. We said we had no oHjeelion to reeni; we son, prnviurii ine p.'tp'e o Uioo uesire m, nuo mat neiro is isiriy ex pressed through tne suioougnt votes of tneirorrof snd onstitntiniiai n p" imau ves. n nas not oeen nan in tins way, and, we belier", llie laws should be n- ttortd, and re on in until the wish of i;-? ;m'o!? for their repeal shall ut distinctly ami l.ntiy expressed.

Indeed, we see no middle ground for men of notional political views to occupy, than lo unite in opposition to the disunion-ills of both North snd South, and it strikes us that the tendency of events is to this result. Senator Chase, we suppose, will fntilinue lo enjoy Ihe office he holds in opposition to the wishes of forty- nine titlielhsiif the people ol Ohio. A representative of either of the great parties in Ohio would not be out of place in the U. S Senate, but tins man's post. lion in Ihe Senate, being (lie representniive ol a mere fragment of the people, is an oulrsge upon tlie repre. aentalive principle of our government, and whoever defends or maintains its propriety, is " a moral traitor'' to repubhaan institutions. He snd lus alx-lors, the abolitionists, of the Slate of Ohio, or elsewhere, ei. hibil in tins case that diseased state of political and republican susceptibility, which has always been at. Intuited lo them by the designation of" one ideaists." Their attention and susceptibilities are so occupied with the personal and political tights of negroes, that they forget ir cannot perceive that while men possess any. I lie aliohtionisl Llisse can, no doiiht, theorise with great hues so upon the rights ol the black man, and the least eneronchmeitt upon them occasions a feeling and exclamation of horror, wlule with the ut. most cnmpmoire he can aid in depriving (he white ieopl) nl Ohio of the right of representation ill tho United Statea Senate, ami can sloop to base intrigue and corruption to accomplish the outrage.

It has had access lo de positions, which, if genuine, present this affair in a most important point nl view. The first of these de-positions by Calvin Simmons, puts be) mid a doubt the fact thai the body disinterred was tho onee-xhibi-ted al the Stale prison of Maine, as that of Coohdge, the convict The sreond depomiion hy Alexander Arden, Jr'., whose farm is nexl lo that ihe father of the convict whom he has known from Ins birth, proves conclusively that llie body disinterred was not thnl of Coolulge. Tlie third deposition, lhal of the fit her, does nol recognise the body. The lather substantially saul : " Dr. Cnolidgo was n man oft ffeuiiuate appearance, wilh a very light beard.

Tie French Minister nt Washington (M. Pomtsin) has received In pnrfpnrts from the American Government, in consequence, it is -aid, of an offensive dMpnlch claiming ooiiipeiihalion for losses sustained by Fr' iich suljects during the blockade of Vera Cruz in ihe course uf the Mexican war. Those who remember the very ubrupt lerinsin which similar deiuutuls were put forth by tlie United States Government on France under the reign of Louis Philippe and the Presidency of Gen. Jackson, and the pacific manner in which ihe uffront was pocketed, sod the a umii u t disbursed, may be disposed to wonder whether M. Poussin and the superiors whose instructions he follows have been ferreting out Irom the cur-ions of tie French Foreign Otlice llie precise terms of Ihe American exaction, and relying on these as a diplomatic precedent on the like liability of Ihe United States. If so, they have found that the having put up Willi somewhat unceremonious dunning at a previous periud, does hy no means establish an undispu-ledalitle tn employ that mode of dunning themselves. President Jackson's Old Hickory diplomacy was as efficient as Molierc'e chairman's; but the chairman st)le is a Republican prerogative not yet conceded lo France. It is assumed that M. de Tocqueville cannot havo sanctioned townrds President Tnyl-T the Democratic freedoms uf Citizen Genet in the days of W ush-ington.llie amount claimed is staled at somewhere be ween one and two million dollars a mere pinch uf soil or sand from the new Cuhlurnia El Dorndo. It is nut llie matter ot money can make the ditiiculiy, but "there is a form In these matters, my dear ma' dam, there is s form." What enthusiasm for so very limited an scqmsilion of dollars can have limde por M. Poussin forg'-i The amenities uf his ministry i Or what oblivion uf his own American philosophy can have led M de Tocquevillu to lake unnecessary lihr-'ies with the transatlantic sovereign inuuy, whoie iiiub nt of absolute. suVerA- gus gcneially, is tu lake all libeilies, and udmil noi.f f Wo have loo much confidence in llie intelligence and intentions of those who direct at present the foreign policy of both Governments, to suppose lor a moment liiat this trumpery misunderstanding ran be suffered to produce uny serious effects. Gen. Taylor has shown a spirit and decision iu enforcing observance on the more unruly portion of his countrymen of pacific national relations with f" reign States, which forbid us to believe that he would wantonly compro mise those relations in any Inendly quarter; and French valor is too well established a quality to need divorce itself Irom discretion, on any occurrence no remote from the real field it may find nearer home. From lilt; London Times, Another unpleasant and inopportune circumstance has just occurred in the relations of France with a nother portion of the American Continent, which threate is to kindle a diplomatic quarrel with the United States. One of llie strangest and most perilous consequences uf the Revolution of February was tluil tlie duties ot representing the r rench Republic in foreign countries were suddenly thrust upon men utterly unquauiied lor such functions by education, station or experience. The post of Minuter at Washington had been intended fur M. De Circourl, a gentleman who united all these qualities in the highest de gree, and who had consented, from personal friendship for M. De Lamartine, and from patriotic motives, lo proceed to Berlin, in tho first stormy days of ilia Provisional Government. Instead, however, of rewarding M. De Circourt's great services in Germany hy the Legation lo the L ruted statei, Al. ljamsMinc allowed Ihut position to be carried by some Republican intrigue in favor of a man utterly unknown to fame, but who rejoices in the sign ftcant and captivating name of William Tell 'oussiu. It seems, however, that M I oussin has ontnved to leave a trace in diplomatic history before ho could be superseded by a more suitable representative of tho French nation. Ho was instructed lo obtain from the American Government some repara tion or indemnity lor losses sustained by r rench sub jects in the course of the Mexican War; but he ap pears lo have couched lus demand in terms so unu suul or unbecoming, that the American Cabinet unrne-,1 mteiy aiiBwered it by sending luni his passports. This correspondence has nol yet reached us, and we know little f the merits of the case, or of the ff ct it may produce ii Paris ; but in New-York it had occasioned a sudden and remarkable depression il the public securities, and apprehensions had been -xciied us to tho consequences of such a blow aimed at a sister Republic, which amounts to sn interruption it diplomatic intercourse. 1 lie probability is, that, is the affront seems to have consisted in form rather than in substance, and as it is impossible lo impute to France and Ihe United States a serious intention of hostility, mutual explanations snd Ihe sacrifice of the diplomatist with the patriotic name will appease tho fftuth of these democracies. From tht Liverpool Mail. It is more amusing than alarming to observe that 'he not-teru old Republic of the Uniled Stales, and the the ctrtf new Republic ol France, have quarreled, and ire playing toe part ol the " wolf and ihe lamb, but Inch is tlie " wolf," ur which is Ihe " lamb," we can- iot tell. Ihe r rench Minister, resident for many years at Washington, has received his passports iruiu Air. f resident taylor. The reasons which hnve led to this unpleasant pro-ceding arc not explained in llie American papers. Excessively strong and condemnatory expressions are onlied to the r rencliiuan, snd he is sceused ol in so- It-nee and insulting language inward certain functionaries of the American Government. The Paris pa lters will, perl-nps, in a few days, throw more light on the subject. .. We can see enough, however, lo saiisly us that the cause ot quarrel ia money the dollars, i'ne French Reaidenl supported the claim of some of his countrymen for damages sustained in Mexico, and which damages the Government of the United Slates disallowed, or, in other Words, repudiated In consequence of this disallowance, Ihe Resident addressed, as il is said, an angry letter an insolent letter, it is called in the Amencsn Secretary of State, who be mg offended by its contents, sent a copy of il to M. I'nrqueville, tlie French Minister f-T Foreign Affairs, demanding explanations and redress. M. Toe que ville did not rescind to the application aa was expected. He did not see anything in the correspondence but a few harsh words, the bitterest of which had been wiihdrawi in fact, he did not see ihe necessity of recalling Major Poussin, Ihn Resident in question and llie result was his " passports," and a kick out of the country, such as our own dear iiulwer received from the barley-suirar Queen of Spain. Whether Mr. President tlonapirte and Tocquevllle will submit to this insult, as Lord Palmerstoii did In ihe Spstush one, remains to he seen. We do not think they wilt. France is somewhat haughty at present, is overflowing with dignity, and is not unwilling to court an affront merely fur Ihe honor and glory of re senling it Such is her present humor, and we shall he surprised, indeed, if Mr Rush, IheAmericsn Minister at Pans, is not ordrred outaf France sl'J4 hours' notice. That one Republic should deal thus peremptorily with soother Repulic, is not st variance with the spirit of these institutions.

Il is notorious that had the o mnsel of the Hmto Journal prevailed tail December, the efforts of Townshend and Morse. would have ben pruverlrm to bring about those seeuea of corruption which disgraced the actors, and brought reproach upon the fair fame of the Slate. We then urged upon our friends, aa we now do, a constant and abiding adherence l the.

We have never ceased to deprecate the hour whi'n our friends were induced to adopt a different course. 77y wera deceived and our apprehensions were realized. Srcon'U'j, our friend may dismiss all alarm, on account of any apprehended " Whig mob." We hive neither counseled or contemplated anything of I lie kind. And while upon the topic, our friend will allow us onn suggestion, slid that is, Unit there will be no necessity for bringing upagmn the army of loenfoeo bailie who quartered in our city last December.

We beg the public lo suspend its drafts upon Ihe Statesman hr its views on the subject of tin powers ol Congress In restrain Slavery in the Territories, until the question ol public printing shall have been disposed of by the coming Legislature. And if, pending this question of printing, the States man roar you like any sucxing dove upon tne comparatively trivial subject of extending Slsvery over a few parallels of latitude, it will make ample amends by enacting A'irc Ihttom for Ihe South, so soon as it shall be made secure of the aforesaid job, which now so qiuch embarrasses its power of utterance. Bul while Ihe Statesman is thus mule, other Loco toco editor and teachers are laboring m their vocation lo restore their party to the position it occupied al tin-last Presidential election. A writer in the Dayton Empire, of Monday, has the following specious rea soning, calculated to persuade the people lo yield their assent to the absurd proposition that slavery, under the constitution, has acquired a strength greater than Ihe constitution itself; and cannot be restrained by those by whom and for whose bene lit (lie constitution was framed. He says ; " If then the view is correct, lliat taeh State lias an undivided interest in the wilol.K, any exercise of pow. r bv Congress by whu-h the proprietary rights or equality of any single Slate are infringed, it uncontti-tulionut. The proprietary rights sod equality of fifteen of the thirty Stales of this Union auk mmmiKti by the V;lmot Proviso, because under it they cannot exercise those rights without submitting to a depnva- lion ruinout to their inter trtt and to an annihilation of their rii'lit to property winch is ganrtiourd by their laws and fiuaranlrtd them by the Conttitutiuu." If tins be not notice on Ihe part of tho Medary inte rest, of an intention to withdraw from the firm ol Toicnthnul, Chute fy CV., then we confess wo are unable lo put a reasonable interpretation upon the language. We know of no proprietary rights" by which any ciliien of a slave State is authorized to transfer his slave property beyond the limits ot his State, Slavery, where it is tolerated, is emphatically a Statt institution and exists only by the sufferance of State laws. If, therefore, a slaveholder transfer his slave lu a Iree Slate, llie sUvft thereby becomes riir.K ; and I he re is no legal power, either in the federal Constitution or the Constitution of any State, to reduce ttie slave bo made free, again to bondage.

No Slate has right ful jurisdiction in the Territories, to introduce or maintain therein any "peculiarity" of its own, against common consent. As regards the institution of slavery in the Territories, and the right of Congress l legislate for its limitation and restriction, there can hard ly exist a serious question. Such right has been re P'jatedly exercised, at various periods o our national history, has been as often acquiesced in by too statei and the people and ran hardly now be brought in question. Ttie ,Vicftiim Letter was a most signal failure of such an attempt. Such efforts are behind the age, and far in the reir of the genius of the times . The Convention It is now conceded that the vote uf the people is in favor of the call ol a Convention to makranew Constitution fur Ohio. There was so little excitement on the question, that bul for Ihe distribution of tickets on which were printed "for a Convention," the decision probably would have been Ihe Converxe of what it is. As there was no excitement, so neither of the great political organizations were array d in favor of or airaiilNt the call, and the result is m lependent o( any political party. This is as il should be. The Legislature must now provide lor a Convention.

There is a very natural desire abroad among the people, lo know somewhat of the eatte of their next Legislature. We gave, about a week since, a complete list, classed according to tho political predilections of the several members, by which ony reader may arrive at a knowledge of the political character of the representative bodies, with all the accuracy that the facts it) our possession enables us to impart In such a statement. Hut still, the public mind isiiotsatisfied. Wo meet with frequent speculations on tho subject, even in Whig papers, such as, iT Mr. Hundalt thai! rote so and so : If the.

To u lliey seem iinnrolitahlc and void of interest. As to Mr. Rm- tail's vote on the admission of Mr. Uroadwell, we do nol perceive how there can be any doubt. Mr. ttroad well is elecled by near one thousand majority, undei the provisions of a law which has received Mr. Randall's sanction on three several occasions, given under ihe solemnities of his oath. We can not see why it hould he supposed for a moment that he is now going retrrse his deliberately formed and solemnly ex pressed opinions. Wo enterlnin no such supposition- As to the Free Soil members, Ihey will undoubtedly vole upon questions relating to the organization of the two Houses, according lo the dictates of Iheir judg ments, lifeline there wis one very weak, and anu ther very dishonest man iu the last House of Repre- ntotives, cloaked under tho guise of the Free Soil pally, it -'J no uieai ) tollovvs that mi wno navo casi their votes, or been elected hy voles cist in accoid- 1 auce with tlie views of thai parly, are to he set down as either idiots or knaves. In an entire region of the Slate embracing some twelve counties, a sentiment as taken strong hold upon the minds of the entire mass of the population. Tliey have to a great extent iibmccd that sentiment, even to Ihu exclusion ol Dtheri of vital importance, We have no quarrel Willi thein on account of such sentiment; but on tho contrary, loa reasonable extent hold it in common with them The differeuue between us consists in the intolerance of spirit manifested by some who have seized upon this peculiar state of pub lic feeling in that region mounted it as a hobby and thus attempted to constitute themselves leaders. This au evil which will cure itself It may be produc tive of soiiu! temporary wrong, bul among an honest nd intelligent peoplecan gam no permanent lodgment. Die free soil members elect are from a constituency who plume themselves somewhat upon their school- mses and churches. Tne representatives ul such a people will not be very likely lo disregard tho obliga tions of the laws. They may entertain doubts of the propriety or expediency of any given legal enactment. Tliuy may be ready to vole for its modification or ah. rogation; but while it stands unrepealed upon ine statute-book, they would very unfaithfully reflect the sentiments of a law-abiding people, by substituting for the law the imperious will of an irresponsible taction. And if these men choose to exercise iheir talent in an attempt to " make a spoon or tpoit a horn" who shall forbid thoin the effort? They h ivu the same interest in the slake that any other equal number of citizens possess, and will be held lo as rigid a responsibility. It is one of the incidents of our republican system, that all concerned in the grand issue, shtll hive a voice in the general management ; and however much we miy deprecate the course of sum! of Ihe self.con- stunted teidcrt of llio Tree s oil party, we would not restrain their action, al Ihe expiiueof this feature ot our government. With regard to the inemb-rs from the first District of Hamilton county being admitted lo iheir seats, we e no more reasm for bringing their right in ques tion, th in that ol I In? meiuiiers irom any outer ais trict. The same law th it prescribes th tt district, proscribes them all. AshtabuU and Like cmulie make one district, to clnnse two Representatives; so of Clark, Campaign, and M ubsou ; so also ol Knox and Huluifs; of Richland and Crawford ; of Ross and Pick away, and others. And llie same nuthority exists un der the constitution tor dividing- a county into two representative districts, where there is the requisite amount ol populati m, thai exist for Ihe combination f two or more counties into one district, when a den- ctency of population dictates thai course. II iw comes th-n, tli it we d.i not h'ar the right of the members led from Perry and Hocking from JOiox and II ilmcs from Richland and Crawford, ti laite their seals, called in question, as well aa those from the first district of H million ? Simply because il happens to suit the purposes of (he loc docos to raise the question the one instance, and the Whigs do not choose tu raise it in the other and that it all the reason. The vote of Mr. Riddle and his colleague from the Geauga district, and Mr. Krum and his colteiiues from the Ashtabula district, are confidently counted upon by the locofocos, becailso in th iso districts Ihe Whigs had other candidates of their own. With whit reason this calculation is entertained, especially as regards Mr. Riddle, may he inferred from the fol lowing extract from a speech delivered by him in the House of Representative! last winter : " 1 here charge (hat certain gentlemen of the Free Soil party, early conceived the bold and ambitious design of taking advantage of the unfortunate position ol psrties, lo hold ihe balance of power in their own hands, and tlius diclaln llie legislation ot llie. stale, and tho distribution ol its patronage, with tiir l'i.ti M AT R IIKSlOf or UNITING TIIK r llttt S'UL F A HTY WITH Locomtoi!.

CARLOS COOLIDGE. From the Defiance Banner, r'reo Soil lu Ohio. The scenes at Columbus last winter the repeal of the IJIark Laws the election of S. P. Chase to the Uniled Stales SenaU and the means by which these ends were accomplished are events which have just, ly excited a great interest ; occasioning much discussion by the press, and in the social and political circles among tlie people of Ohio. Y et the theme is so fruitful as not to be exhausted ; and the interest so great as not to Hag. Pariiznn strife in Ohio, throughout the wholo periud of its history, with all its attendant ea. geruess for power, had never occasioned such an out raje to the elementary principles of republican institutions as was perpetrated, through mercenary influences alone, by the actors in these events. Men invested by tho suffrages of the people with the sacred trust of legislative power, with the obligation of asolemn oath superadded, descended from their 1 lty poatiion and utadt- niecha"ii;se-of their power its use was the subject of bargain and sale accompanied by written cuotractt, tignid and de.lic.ered, with all the cool, calculating deliberation of an ordinary commercial transaction. Men not authorized by the constitution and la ws of the Stale lo occupy seats in the General Assembly, were by corrupt bargain provided Willi seats, and invested with llie power of legislation. The abolition of a body of laws of Ion? standing, sustained by the people against rcieatcd efforts for repeal, is contracted '"f, and the contract fulfilled. The most digmlicd office in the gift of tlie Slate sold for a price. and bestowed upon one not the choice ol one hltieth of the whole people. In fine, usurpation of legislative power stipulated for by written contract; ihe rep resentative tli-'ory and principle ot me government set at nought ; laws made and repealed against the known and often expressed will ol the people, and the ollices and dignities, rightfully Iheir gill, tendered and be-slowed as the contract price and reward of corruption and u-mrpatmn. A people less lornearing man ours, wouia nave vis ited the offenders with summary execution as traitors to the country, and usurpera nt its liberties. Individually we have no otijeclion lo me repeal nt the "black laws," though we were never conscious that those laws were injurious lo llio people of Ohio, and, consequently, never felt that their rt-peal was of great importance. Indeed, we have always under stood the mentis ot repeal to puce meir ciaun upon llie high ground of abstract principle rather than considerations of utility. Tim portion of the people of Ohio more immediately affected by Iheir existence or repeal, havo always been averse lo repeal. We said we had no oHjeelion to reeni; we son, prnviurii ine p.'tp'e o Uioo uesire m, nuo mat neiro is isiriy ex pressed through tne suioougnt votes of tneirorrof snd onstitntiniiai n p" imau ves. n nas not oeen nan in tins way, and, we belier", llie laws should be n- ttortd, and re on in until the wish of i;-? ;m'o!? for their repeal shall ut distinctly ami l.ntiy expressed. Tins should be d me, also, for the purpose of expressing a dissent to the corrupt menus by which the repeal was effected last winter, and, as now impressed, We do nol lieailale tn ex press a wish Hint tne Miileiend-cut Democrats and Whigs of the next General As sembly may unite for that purpose. Indeed, we see no middle ground for men of notional political views to occupy, than lo unite in opposition to the disunion-ills of both North snd South, and it strikes us that the tendency of events is to this result. Senator Chase, we suppose, will fntilinue lo enjoy Ihe office he holds in opposition to the wishes of forty- nine titlielhsiif the people ol Ohio. A representative of either of the great parties in Ohio would not be out of place in the U. S Senate, but tins man's post. lion in Ihe Senate, being (lie representniive ol a mere fragment of the people, is an oulrsge upon tlie repre. aentalive principle of our government, and whoever defends or maintains its propriety, is " a moral traitor'' to repubhaan institutions. He snd lus alx-lors, the abolitionists, of the Slate of Ohio, or elsewhere, ei. hibil in tins case that diseased state of political and republican susceptibility, which has always been at. Intuited lo them by the designation of" one ideaists." Their attention and susceptibilities are so occupied with the personal and political tights of negroes, that they forget ir cannot perceive that while men possess any. I lie aliohtionisl Llisse can, no doiiht, theorise with great hues so upon the rights ol the black man, and the least eneronchmeitt upon them occasions a feeling and exclamation of horror, wlule with the ut. most cnmpmoire he can aid in depriving (he white ieopl) nl Ohio of the right of representation ill tho United Statea Senate, ami can sloop to base intrigue and corruption to accomplish the outrage.

It has had access lo de positions, which, if genuine, present this affair in a most important point nl view.

Tlie third deposition, lhal of the fit her, does nol recognise the body. The lather substantially saul : " Dr. Cnolidgo was n man oft ffeuiiuate appearance, wilh a very light beard. The beat d on the corpse was very heavy, and the eyebrows near together, with heavy brows, diff.Tent from those ol Coolulge, The fnce was too larpr and wide, the note loo much Roman lobe Coolulge's.

Tie French Minister nt Washington (M. Pomtsin) has received In pnrfpnrts from the American Government, in consequence, it is -aid, of an offensive dMpnlch claiming ooiiipeiihalion for losses sustained by Fr' iich suljects during the blockade of Vera Cruz in ihe course uf the Mexican war. Those who remember the very ubrupt lerinsin which similar deiuutuls were put forth by tlie United States Government on France under the reign of Louis Philippe and the Presidency of Gen. Jackson, and the pacific manner in which ihe uffront was pocketed, sod the a umii u t disbursed, may be disposed to wonder whether M. Poussin and the superiors whose instructions he follows have been ferreting out Irom the cur-ions of tie French Foreign Otlice llie precise terms of Ihe American exaction, and relying on these as a diplomatic precedent on the like liability of Ihe United States. If so, they have found that the having put up Willi somewhat unceremonious dunning at a previous periud, does hy no means establish an undispu-ledalitle tn employ that mode of dunning themselves. President Jackson's Old Hickory diplomacy was as efficient as Molierc'e chairman's; but the chairman st)le is a Republican prerogative not yet conceded lo France. It is assumed that M. de Tocqueville cannot havo sanctioned townrds President Tnyl-T the Democratic freedoms uf Citizen Genet in the days of W ush-ington.llie amount claimed is staled at somewhere be ween one and two million dollars a mere pinch uf soil or sand from the new Cuhlurnia El Dorndo. It is nut llie matter ot money can make the ditiiculiy, but "there is a form In these matters, my dear ma' dam, there is s form." What enthusiasm for so very limited an scqmsilion of dollars can have limde por M. Poussin forg'-i The amenities uf his ministry i Or what oblivion uf his own American philosophy can have led M de Tocquevillu to lake unnecessary lihr-'ies with the transatlantic sovereign inuuy, whoie iiiub nt of absolute. suVerA- gus gcneially, is tu lake all libeilies, and udmil noi.f f Wo have loo much confidence in llie intelligence and intentions of those who direct at present the foreign policy of both Governments, to suppose lor a moment liiat this trumpery misunderstanding ran be suffered to produce uny serious effects. Gen. Taylor has shown a spirit and decision iu enforcing observance on the more unruly portion of his countrymen of pacific national relations with f" reign States, which forbid us to believe that he would wantonly compro mise those relations in any Inendly quarter; and French valor is too well established a quality to need divorce itself Irom discretion, on any occurrence no remote from the real field it may find nearer home. From lilt; London Times, Another unpleasant and inopportune circumstance has just occurred in the relations of France with a nother portion of the American Continent, which threate is to kindle a diplomatic quarrel with the United States. One of llie strangest and most perilous consequences uf the Revolution of February was tluil tlie duties ot representing the r rench Republic in foreign countries were suddenly thrust upon men utterly unquauiied lor such functions by education, station or experience. The post of Minuter at Washington had been intended fur M. De Circourl, a gentleman who united all these qualities in the highest de gree, and who had consented, from personal friendship for M. De Lamartine, and from patriotic motives, lo proceed to Berlin, in tho first stormy days of ilia Provisional Government. Instead, however, of rewarding M. De Circourt's great services in Germany hy the Legation lo the L ruted statei, Al. ljamsMinc allowed Ihut position to be carried by some Republican intrigue in favor of a man utterly unknown to fame, but who rejoices in the sign ftcant and captivating name of William Tell 'oussiu. It seems, however, that M I oussin has ontnved to leave a trace in diplomatic history before ho could be superseded by a more suitable representative of tho French nation. Ho was instructed lo obtain from the American Government some repara tion or indemnity lor losses sustained by r rench sub jects in the course of the Mexican War; but he ap pears lo have couched lus demand in terms so unu suul or unbecoming, that the American Cabinet unrne-,1 mteiy aiiBwered it by sending luni his passports. This correspondence has nol yet reached us, and we know little f the merits of the case, or of the ff ct it may produce ii Paris ; but in New-York it had occasioned a sudden and remarkable depression il the public securities, and apprehensions had been -xciied us to tho consequences of such a blow aimed at a sister Republic, which amounts to sn interruption it diplomatic intercourse. 1 lie probability is, that, is the affront seems to have consisted in form rather than in substance, and as it is impossible lo impute to France and Ihe United States a serious intention of hostility, mutual explanations snd Ihe sacrifice of the diplomatist with the patriotic name will appease tho fftuth of these democracies.

It is more amusing than alarming to observe that 'he not-teru old Republic of the Uniled Stales, and the the ctrtf new Republic ol France, have quarreled, and ire playing toe part ol the " wolf and ihe lamb, but Inch is tlie " wolf," ur which is Ihe " lamb," we can- iot tell. Ihe r rench Minister, resident for many years at Washington, has received his passports iruiu Air. f resident taylor. The reasons which hnve led to this unpleasant pro-ceding arc not explained in llie American papers. Excessively strong and condemnatory expressions are onlied to the r rencliiuan, snd he is sceused ol in so- It-nee and insulting language inward certain functionaries of the American Government. The Paris pa lters will, perl-nps, in a few days, throw more light on the subject. .. We can see enough, however, lo saiisly us that the cause ot quarrel ia money the dollars, i'ne French Reaidenl supported the claim of some of his countrymen for damages sustained in Mexico, and which damages the Government of the United Slates disallowed, or, in other Words, repudiated In consequence of this disallowance, Ihe Resident addressed, as il is said, an angry letter an insolent letter, it is called in the Amencsn Secretary of State, who be mg offended by its contents, sent a copy of il to M. I'nrqueville, tlie French Minister f-T Foreign Affairs, demanding explanations and redress. M. Toe que ville did not rescind to the application aa was expected. He did not see anything in the correspondence but a few harsh words, the bitterest of which had been wiihdrawi in fact, he did not see ihe necessity of recalling Major Poussin, Ihn Resident in question and llie result was his " passports," and a kick out of the country, such as our own dear iiulwer received from the barley-suirar Queen of Spain. Whether Mr. President tlonapirte and Tocquevllle will submit to this insult, as Lord Palmerstoii did In ihe Spstush one, remains to he seen. We do not think they wilt. France is somewhat haughty at present, is overflowing with dignity, and is not unwilling to court an affront merely fur Ihe honor and glory of re senling it Such is her present humor, and we shall he surprised, indeed, if Mr Rush, IheAmericsn Minister at Pans, is not ordrred outaf France sl'J4 hours' notice. That one Republic should deal thus peremptorily with soother Repulic, is not st variance with the spirit of these institutions. America made France pay forexlrordiuary losses, sgainst which bills were drawn, and protested for non-payment, in the time of Louis Philippe, and it ia probable lhal Louis Napoleon, recollecting that fact, wilt insist upon the claims of his countrymen in a similar way. One or two miliums of dollars form a large sum tu fratios, and thero is the honor of the thing. election in Cnhlornln. .No Blavery. A correspondent of the Barton Times gives the following account of ihe nay the election was conducted in the diggings: On the d appointed we were encamped six miles below our present location. During tlie hot part of ihe day, Ihe season of the siestat a young, intelligent-looking man came into the camp on mule and invited us all lo turn nut and go to Ihe polls We had lieen in the country but a ten days, and knew very little of its local publics, but decided upon following the young man to the Dig liar w here the election was to be held, and there gather what information w could. Off wo went by ihe mule path, over hill and ravme, craggy rocks, and through thorny chappsrs, until we came lo the Har. The place of meeting was a store tent, and here we met about twenty miners. We arranged ourselves ahmg on a log, under the edge of tlie tent, and waited the progress of events. " Directly our guide look off his hnl and nominated a moderator for tho Meeting, then threo iuspeoiors and a clerk, all of whom were chosen without a dissenting toire. At the request ot one of our parly, ho then stated the object of the election, and at the ssme tune informed us lhal the first name on the prepared ballot for delegates to the Convention was lus own. One of the prominent qneiiions in (he election was an expression as lo whether slavery shall he allowed in California. The candidate, though a Louisiani-an, was nppoed out and oul to the introduction of slavery here, and so we sll voted for hun. Fur myself, was of the opinion of au old mountaineer, who, leaning against the tent pole, harangued the crowd, that iu a country where every while man made a slave of himself, there was no use of keeping niggers.
